Let's say they have a treatment for dementia
You got older and dementia begins to creep in
They offer you a proven drug that derived from a hormone that can naturally keep the dementia at bay and return your mind back to more youthful state giving you a much better quality of life. Are you not gonna take it because "you're good at growing old"?

But dementia is a disease
TRT for people who don't actually have low testosterone doesn't make sense

older women with money are taking hormones too...
they just dont talk about it as much

Just to impress some fat middle aged women.

You thinking you getting young hoes cuz of your looks?

Yeah because that's what I'm talking about.

You compared testosterone supplementation to botox. Testosterone is a hormone with a multitude of effects on the body ranging from mood, cognitive function, sex drive, bone density, muscle strength etc.
Botox is just a cosmetic procedure to stop the muscle in your face from moving to create the look of less wrinkles.
They aren't even close to being comparable on the overall effect on a person's quality of life

But dementia is a disease
TRT for people who don't actually have low testosterone doesn't make sense

It's a hypothetical. To induce a thought process on reasons why not to take it. Thats why i quoted who i quoted because i was setting up my argument. Low test and dementia both offer a lowered quality of life. Not taking something to treat it because "I'm good getting old" doesn't make sense.
Also in this case they actually would have low testosterone. So Im not seeing your point theres lots of middle aged people out here with low test but they just never get their levels checked.

are we implying most doctors are just giving out TRT like candy to any man? Or are they taking steps to push them to reduce body fat, keep an active lifestyle, sleep, releive stress, and consume a balanced diet first? I thought this was about age related decline?

I get accused of using it because I'm 40 and still in great shape physically. I don't want to take it because I heard it potentially stops your natural production. You shouldn't need it until you're old. If you stay naturally active, your body will produce more than enough of it.

That sort of thing really should be a last resort.

People are fast to jump on the drugs, but won't first try to eat better or exercise consistently for a few years.
